Sounds like you got a really nice $ deal on the Madone as well. Are you going to put the Madone on your CycleOps this winter?
Nah,--I will use this sturdy Trek Hybrid for the trainer. This Madone is a little bit like a delicate machine to me. I can't believe that 17 lbs can support a big guy like me, but it does very nicely. You need to know that I am an old fashion mechanical engineer. In my 50 year career I needed to accept Aluminum and Carbon Fibers as being OK. Was not easy to do.
"OCP", yes, may as well live it up while I can.
